Awesome @thecryptodrive
My concerns of reducing the account creation price is however that it could increase spam accounts and botnets and make Steem a worse place overall.
Yes that could have been a problem, but according to @gtg
newly created account will have only 0.1 STEEM burned, basically rendering newly accounts unusable (without delegating them SP anyway).
So the spam-thesis will not be a problem on these accounts unless they are powered up. On the other hand - I can make 3000 accounts for free right now and sell them to rich spammers, it is a myth that spammers are poor, they are not, and they can get as many accounts as they want anyway, you know, I am sure.
For STEEM to hold a high price, we need a lot of steemians. We need it to become super easy to onboard friends to steem, even those of us who have almost no money, but a lot of friends.
I do like the benefits for apps though whereby cheaper account prices can help apps onboard more users
Yes, it will have an overall positive effect in the entire ecosystem of STEEM.
Lets do it. 30, 60 or 90 days test period with the right tools for everyone to use.
Most spammers are poor in terms of Steem.
The majority of spammers I find almost no Steem due to the low rewards they get (I see spammers posting 30 times a day for 1 cent per post) and the fact they are always powering down and selling.
Have you seen this?

$2 USD (Via Credit Card) to create new accounts, including 15 SP delegation for 90 days. This is a great on-boarding avenue as well. Paying for accounts even if it is only $2 USD is not ideal, but it is a big improvement.

What about the retention problem? They come on board and then they will likely leave...
A slight account price creates demand for STEEM in some way as well; dropping the price reduces utility somewhat.
If others are interested I don't mind doing a trial period though.

That's where communities come in to play. Here at Canna-Curate, not only are we using our Rc to set up people with new accounts with a 30sp delegation, we are setting our new members on auto vote, and making sure we stay up to date and comment on their posts. It's just the start, but as time goes along we will come up with a great and efficient system of on boarding and retaining the new users.

That's awesome, we need more people with that sort of mindset to retain users.

Yeah :) trust peoples ability to entertain each other and retain each other. Think decentralised.
This is doable.

Hello @fyrstikken. I sent 8 steem to @booster to promote a post but the upvote wasn't delivered and I'm yet to receive my refund. It has been 4 days. Please look into it.
